TxDOT said the landslide at I-30 and Beltline Road is the worst of the more than 50 it is monitoring. The agency said the unusual amount of recent rain and snow has left the ground very saturated and prone to landslides.

"I understand to the layman that it's a little unnerving," Releford said. "We've got it under control, and we are monitoring it daily."

Driver Frankie Blair said he's willing to take his chances.

"I don't think the mud is going to come crashing down," he said. "You know, it's not like it's California and their mudslides."

TxDOT said it hopes to have some temporary repairs completed in the next few weeks.
